- The National Institute on Aging awarded The Johns Hopkins University $769,960 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026, for research examining how changes in home health care agency ownership and private capital investment affect access to care, quality of care, and patient outcomes for people living with dementia. The project, which runs through May 31, 2031, investigates the impact of multi-state chain acquisitions and private capital investments on home health...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Brown University $192,177 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on March 3, 2026, to conduct research estimating the effects of Medicare Advantage on health outcomes and nursing home care quality among long-stay residents aged 65 or older. The project addresses a gap in evidence regarding Medicare Advantage's impact on nursing home residents as MA enrollment among long-stay residents has risen from 13.3 percent in 2011 to 31.5 percent in 2021. The...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Wake Forest University Health Sciences $633,510 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to examine the impact of home-based medical care and telemedicine use on dementia care outcomes among Medicare enrollees with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The project will study home-based medical care delivery—house calls by physicians and advanced care providers—and telemedicine use among persons living with Alzheimer's...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded New York University $3.053 million on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct longitudinal research on caregiving networks and their consequences among adults ages 85 and older.

The research will characterize care ecosystems and relational coordination (teamwork) among family caregivers, paid caregivers, and...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Inc. $706,310 on May 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to conduct a longitudinal study examining the interplay among reproductive, molecular, and chronological age in relation to aging-related conditions in women. The study leverages existing high-quality data and biosamples from a well-phenotyped population of over 850 women followed from recruitment in early pregnancy in 1999–2002 for over two decades....
- The National Institute on Aging awarded the University of Pennsylvania $825,128 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to identify drivers of variation in home health outcomes and clarify how differences in care processes contribute to disparities in patient outcomes across demographic groups. The project will develop group-specific process and outcome measures to assess variations in care by patient grouping, addressing gaps in current Medicare quality metrics that...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Education Development Center, Inc. $320,150 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) on September 1, 2026. The research project examines elder mistreatment and self-neglect among older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, leveraging the UCLA Alzheimer's and Dementia Care (ADC) Program's longitudinal dataset of structured data and clinical notes from dementia care specialists. The study expands the existing dataset to include three...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Brown University $262,311 on September 4, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866, Project Grant R01AG090443) to examine how Medicare Advantage enrollment influences post-acute care utilization and patient outcomes among Medicare beneficiaries. The research compares post-acute care delivery patterns and health outcomes between Medicare Advantage and traditional Medicare beneficiaries across markets with varying levels of Medicare Advantage...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Hebrew Rehabilitation Center (doing business as Hebrew Senior Life) $729,000 on September 10, 2025, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to adapt and pilot an Integrated Care for Older Persons (ICOPE) protocol for post-acute skilled nursing facilities. The project will adapt existing community-based ICOPE protocols to align with skilled nursing facility workflows through semi-structured interviews with SNF staff, then test the adapted protocol in...
- The National Institute on Aging awarded Emory University $535,656 for a project grant on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The project, titled "Understand the Determinants and Quality Implications of Agency Staff Use in Nursing Homes: A Mixed Methods Study," examines how temporary staffing agencies impact resident outcomes and continuity of care across nursing homes. The study links payroll-based journal staffing data with national Medicare and resident...
The National Institute on Aging awarded Brigham & Women's Hospital Inc. $943,368 on September 1, 2026, under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to investigate health care contact days—days older adults spend obtaining health care outside the home—and their impact on patient outcomes. The research addresses three primary aims. Aim 1 employs semi-structured interviews and focus groups across two large health systems serving multiple populations in five states to elicit perspectives from patients, care partners, clinicians, care managers, and operational leaders on health care contact days. Aim 2 uses survey and Medicare billing data to determine how contact days vary across health systems and to quantify the association between modifiable health system attributes (including low-value service use and telemedicine adoption) and severity-adjusted contact days. Aim 3 uses natural experiments to examine how contact days impact patient outcomes. The award period runs through May 31, 2030, with place of performance in Boston, Massachusetts. The funding is classified as a Project Grant, an assistance type under the National Institute on Aging's mission to support biomedical and behavioral research directed toward understanding aging and age-related diseases.
